Beyonce Leaves Blue Ivy Carter For Beach Date With Jay-Z

Beyonce Knowles and her husband of four years Jay-Z soaked up some rays while their baby Blue Ivy Carter was cared for by a nanny on the family’s first vacation together in St. Barts.

The doting couple looked serene on a huge beach towel before the striking, calm ocean. Bey’s rapper turned mogul hubby, 42, was mostly laid back shirtless in black nylon bottoms and the new mommy went for a black slimming two-piece, non-traditional swimsuit which the top covered her taut midriff.

Beyonce, 30, completed her ocean look with black sunglasses, a gold lariat necklace, pink lips, red nails, a finger ring and her celebrated curves! The “Love On Top” singer’s body look to be performance-ready as she waved through the refreshing blue water slowly allowing the currents to ride up on her.

With Beyonce’s baby three-months-old, the singer is getting use to not having the little one in tow for her every move as she readies for her first long-awaited post-pregnancy performance over Memorial Day weekend at Revel Beach’s Ovation Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

The workaholic couple is known for relishing in their off-time, but the new mom’s “maternity leave” is the longest Bey has been away from her performance reign, but is taking it all in stride.

“She just is so happy. I’ve seen Bey like 3 times since she’s had the baby,” singer Melanie Fiona told Us Weekly. “She’s just glowing and she’s saying [motherhood] is the best, and she just loves it!”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
